I am passionate about working with couples to improve and repair their relationships, whether their issues are in their early stages or feel insurmountable. I work collaboratively with couples, helping them to a deeper understanding and appreciation of themselves, each other, and their relationship.

I am an experienced couples therapist who was certified byICEEFT as an emotionally focused therapist in 2012, as a supervisor of EFT therapists in 2015 and as a Trainer in 2018. Before working with couples I was a Person Centred Counsellor working with individuals, having qualified as a counsellor in 1992. I am also an experienced and qualified supervisor and trainer of counsellors.​

From my first experience of emotionally focused couples therapy I was hooked. It is an approach that gives us a clear and logical process to work through together. I support both of you to reach into your emotions and distress to rebuild love and connection.

I originally trained as an Occupational Therapist and worked in a range of mental health settings before moving into counsellor training in further and higher education. From 2007 – 2010 I was Programme Manager of Counselling Courses at the University of Cumbria and from 2010 – 2013 I was the Director of Relationship Counselling for the national charity Marriage Care. Since 2013 I have worked privately.

I work positively with all people whether gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex or heterosexual; whether black, mixed race or white; whether disabled or able bodied, young or old, whatever your religion or if you are non-religious; whatever your ethnicity or country of birth.
